"They say," said the voice of the host, "he never gives you back a greeting now. Queer fish; they say that she's devoted to him."
Foliot stood, one arm across the crupper of her saddle, biting her lips and smiling still her enigmatic smile, and it was her face that stayed most vividly on Shelton's mind, its ashy hail, its pallor, and fixed, scornful eyes.

"Yes," the Connoisseur said, sipping at his sherry, "I 'm afraid it's all over with young Foliot." "Such a pity!" murmured Mrs. Dennant, and her kindly face looked quite disturbed.

Oh, I think he made a great mistake!"
Then she mounted upon her palfrey and Foliot led the palfrey up the hill whither King Ban had gone a short time since. For I believe of a surety that God had forgiven him all his sins, and he would now suffer no more because of the cares and the troubles of this life.
*Hugh de Mapenor*, A.D. 1216-1219, received his appointment by the influence of the papal legate, who, after King John’s submission, claimed the right of nomination to all vacant sees and benefices. *Hugh Foliot*, A.D. 1219-1234, founded the Hospital of St. Katherine at Ledbury, in which still hangs a portrait of him, painted from an older picture.

Before the cavalcade rode a doughty gentleman, Sir Richard Walsh, sheriff of Worcestershire, armed with the royal authority to seize the persons of such conspirators as chanced to fall in his way. It was the sheriff who halted the troop some fifty paces from the house, and, attended by Sir John Foliot and two musketeers, advanced boldly to the closed door.
Meanwhile, Queen Helen and Foliot sat together waiting for him to return and presently they heard the sound of his horse's hoofs coming down that rocky path. Then Queen Helen said: "Foliot, methinks my lord cometh." So in a little came the horse with the empty saddle.
They passed from thence upon Thursday morning unto Hewell the Lord Windsor's house which they entered and took from thence by force great store of armour, artillery of the said Lord Windsor's, and passed that night into the county of Staffordshire unto the house of one Stephen Littleton, Gentleman, called Holbeche, about two miles distant from Stourbridge, whither we pursued, with the assistance of Sir John Foliot, Knight, Francis Ketelsby, Esquire, Humphrey Salway, Gentleman, Edmund Walsh, and Francis Conyers, Gentlemen, with few other gentlemen and the power and face of the country.
